The wife got me some bloodwood knobs for Christmas! I had talked about getting some when I first got the bass, but never got around to it. It came with some pretty standard black knobs. I think the new knobs really sets it off. I told the wife that it even sounds better now, but she said that she can't tell the difference.

Looks good, FM! ...plus, it's a fashion statement at the same time!

Also thanks for your help again Tom. She said you gave her a hand in picking the right ones.

I'm trying to - we got some snow today. It's pretty, but way too cold for my liking! I'm sure it's much warmer there in Florida.

Got an update from Tom; she'll be headed out for testing tomorrow night!

Dreagan,
Beautiful piece of walnut there. Gonna be a wonderful unit for sure.
McNasty,
Those knobs really set that bass off into outer space cool looks. Out of this world.

2012 and a pay raise for Tom C.

Well, I'm trying to spec out a fretless for the new year (probably closer to the end of the year since I just got a custom P-bass), and a Clement is starting to look REALLY tempting. There are so many body figures to choose from. I feel like I could just spec out a different bass for every model Tom offers!

I have a big list of luthiers and I'm narrowing it down, but a Clement or a Stambaugh would both be excellent choices. I'm considering an Atkinson (like my P-bass), but I really like Tom's work. I don't think there's a single bass he's made I don't drool over.

I can only dream of entering this club! We'll see what the new year brings!

You know, that pickup positioning looks pretty familiar

Happy new year my clement brothas and sistas

#271 is in the works...

Phoenix (5/34/19) - Chambered Black Walnut body, Ebony top, Unlined Fretless Wild Olive Board w/ side markers & Port Orford Neck w/ Wenge stringers. 2 Passive Fat Stack Nordies.

I'm tinkering with pup switching option ideas (coil tap etc.) Any suggestions

So when are you going to upload a video of that?

JoelFT · #**258** 01-01-2012, 11:43 PM

Howdy y'all, first post here. Just ordered #270 on the 31st. I only just discovered Clement Basses a few weeks ago and was surprised to see that just about everything I have read in my extensive research about them really fits the bill on what I need. Plus, I just flew some massive overtime on Christmas and have a chunk of change that needs spending.

So, I'm getting a "Kim" with burl redwood top, limba body, maple neck and tone block and lined bloodwood board (34-5-19). I am using an EMG BQS that I have had laying around for the past nine years. Haven't bought the pups yet.

At first I thought I would just go for some 40DCs just like I have in another bass. Now, I'm thinking real hard about the split-coil 40TWs. Anyone have any experience with those and how to mate them to a BQS system? Tom would either have to dump the blend knob or figure out a way to integrate two tap switches.

Welcome to the club, #109 JoelFT (updated on first page of this thread)

That sounds like an awesome bass! :-)
